Do you love popcorn? I sure do. It’s a great snack that can be enjoyed anytime (and not just when watching a movie). I’ve honestly had popcorn at lunch time, as a snack in the afternoon, and a late night snack. It’s not only quick and easy to make, but it also tastes yummy.
I personally enjoy freshly popped popcorn compared to pre-popped, store purchased popcorn. Nothing beats freshly popped popcorn, especially when it’s still warm. Mmmm… now I’m craving popcorn!
Have you ever heard of the brand Opopop? I recently learned about this interesting new brand of popcorn. I also love the name.
Here is some information about the brand and their popcorn.
As one of the fastest growing snack startups, Opopops is reinventing the popcorn industry with their proprietary Flavor Wrapped Kernels — individually coated popcorn kernels that come in delicious flavors like Cinnalicious, Fancy Butter, Chedapeno, and Maui Heat. Opopop’s farm raised popcorn kernels combine a secret technique and gourmet ingredients to create the most delicious wrapped kernel.
Opopop also recently launched their new product offering, perfect for single size snackers: Peel + Pour Popcorn Cups. This interactive combo of raw Opopop kernels is paired with a mouthwatering flavor core. Peel + Pour Popcorn Cups are easy to make quick batches in Opopop’s reusable silicone microwave popping bowl.
Opopop was kind enough to send me their reusable silicone microwave popcorn bowl, as well as some of their popcorns, including their Peel + Pour Popcorn Cups.
The Peel + Pour Popcorn Cups are super easy to use. There is no measuring or seasoning involved. You literally do what it says – peel off the top and pour the entire contents in the microwave safe bowl. Be sure to include the middle section. My son neglected to do that the first time he made popcorn with one of the Peel + Pour cups.
Making popcorn this way is so quick and easy! There is also no mess, except you want to clean out the microwave bowl after you are done enjoying the popcorn.
This brief video gives you a better idea of how easy these Peel + Pour Cups are to use.
You can see in the video the reusable silicon microwave bowl. It pops up when you want to use it, and when you are finished with it and want to put it away, it folds back down making it easy to store. It takes up very little space.
The bowl includes a lid to help keep the popcorn inside when you are making the popcorn in the microwave. You also need to keep the lid on to shake the bowl after the popcorn is popped to distribute the flavoring, which is the part in the middle of the Peel + Pop Cups.
The Peel + Pop Cups provide enough popcorn for 1-2 people (in my home it’s been one person). The nice thing about that is that each family member could pop their favorite flavor of popcorn. You don’t have to pop just one flavor.
The Opopop Peel + Pop Cups are available in the following flavors;
- Salty Caramel
- Lightly Salted
- Like Buddahh
- Vanilla Vanilla
Personally Like Buddahh is my favorite, as well as Salty Caramel.
I have to laugh. My whole family thought it was Buddha originally, but it’s suppose to be buddahh as in “butter.” LOL!
I should note that the Peel + Pop Cups are NOT the flavor wrapped kernels. The flavor for the Peel + Pop Cups is in that center portion you need to include when popping. The flavor wrapped kernels are something different.
The flavor wrapped kernels are available in the following flavors;
- VANILLA CAKE POP
This sweet vanilla flavored treat is craveably delicious.- CINNALICIOUS
Because popcorn in the AM is totally a thing.- MAUI HEAT
Hot like lava. Sweet like pineapple.- CHEDAPENO
Cheezy and spicy and everything nicey.- FANCY BUTTER
Pure buttery flavored perfection.- SALTED UMAMI
Can’t stop eating it, don’t know why.
You can get a sampling of all of these flavors in Opopop’s Discovery Kit. The Discovery Kit comes with one package of each flavor, as well as the reusable bowl.
In addition, the Discover Kit comes with a test packet because not all microwaves are the same. Some microwaves take more or less time to pop popcorn. It depends on the wattage of your microwave. The test packet is a lightly salted flavor.
Maui Heat is AWESOME! That is my favorite flavor, and I’m not necessarily a fan of spicy things. Cinnalicious is also SO GOOD!
You can purchase “kits” to get you started (after all, you’ll want that awesome reusable popcorn bowl). After that Opopop sells refills so you’ll always be able to pop your favorite flavor(s).
Opopop’s popcorn is delicious. It also tends to pop very well, with few kernels left (just make sure you stop your microwave in time – burnt kernels are no fun). I will definetly purchase from Opopop in the near future. I know my kids would appreciate that since they are loving the popcorn too.
Honestly, the only downside I can think of is that the popcorn tends to be enough for 1-2 people, so you’ll need to make more for a larger family. In addition, the starter “kits” tend to be pricey for popcorn, however you do get a nice assortment of flavors as well as the bowl.
If you would like to learn more about Opopop, or to make a purchase, visit Opopop.com. You can also find the brand on social media. Those links are found on the bottom of the brand’s website.
This would make a great gift for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day or for that popcorn lover in your life.
